Chapter 50: Terrifying Opponents
Zhang Yang and his men ran less than two kilometers before stopping because the orc army stopped chasing them and formed a formation on the spot to prevent them from entering the battlefield again.
"Village Chief, how about we make another quick charge?"
"Yeah, we haven't killed enough yet."
The morale of the soldiers and captains was high and they seemed eager to fight. It was true that the two brief confrontations just now were too exciting and too unsatisfying. They did not bring out our true combat effectiveness.
But Zhang Yang ignored the soldiers' desire to fight, and just quietly watched the orc army a kilometer away and the battle in the werewolf castle further away.
There is no doubt that the Jackals are powerless to turn the tide, and it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out.
"Village leader, do you want to send someone back to gather Song Dachui and the others? The orcs on the other side are on high alert and will be difficult to deal with."
Wu Yuan asked at this time. He was still very cautious and was not overwhelmed by the battle just now. He knew that it would be difficult for them to achieve anything with the current 25 people.
"No need. I don't plan to fight these orcs to death. I just want to confirm one thing, that is, whether the orc village chief on the opposite side is playing the strategy of rushing troops?"
Zhang Yang calmly explained that Wu Yuan was going to become a hero in the future, so Zhang Yang would talk to him about these things from time to time.
"Do you know what a violent army is?"
Wu Yuan shook his head, then nodded, "Justice and honor, defeating the enemy without fighting?"
"Almost. But most of the time, the rush of troops is just being a hooligan. They squeeze all resources, squeeze all the population, and push forward in one go, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe. That's how they win, if this game is a one-round decision."
At this point, Zhang Yang sighed. If it was just a matter of life and death, then the rush to attack flow was undoubtedly a good strategy. But if the game had to be extended to three hundred years, then the rush to attack flow would not be suitable.
So don't even mention that he doesn't have enough population. Even if he does, he wouldn't dare to play the strategy of rushing troops.
Wu Yuan didn't say anything, as if he was trying to figure it out.
Zhang Yang continued, "So Wu Yuan, and the rest of you, listen carefully. If you need to lead an army to fight alone in the future, remember that winning or losing a game is not important, but you must remember to save the lives of the soldiers as much as possible. Don't fight recklessly. It doesn't matter if you lose an opportunity. We can continue to survive. If we can survive to the end, we will win."
"Don't think this is shameful. Look, the jackals in front of us and the deer demon in the past are the best examples. The deer demon, who was confident of his superior strength, dared to take risks personally after throwing out his biggest trump card, but was eventually killed by us."
"And this gnoll, even though it had already lost four soldiers and knew the situation had changed, still dared to send out its main force to attack us, which resulted in today's defeat. If it had not lost those hundreds of soldiers, the orcs would definitely not dare to attack it so easily today."
"Hey, what are you looking at? Yes, I am taking risks myself, but have I ever been alone? Have I ever exposed my trump card? And don't you know how strong our team is? Up to now, have you ever tried your best? I haven't even used my trump card at all."
"The reason why I keep mentioning the deer demon and the gnoll is because I want to learn a lesson. I want to tell you and myself that we are not qualified and do not have the conditions to make mistakes in this world. The slightest mistake may lead to our ultimate destruction."
"Okay, you still don't believe it? Then everyone, let's make a bet. I bet that if we just stay here, the orc army on the opposite side will not come to attack us, even though they still have nearly 300 soldiers. Do you want to bet? If I lose, I will give each of you 10 wooden spears, and if I win, you must remember to act with caution in the future."
Zhang Yang chuckled.
"That's impossible, village chief! Those orcs have ten times the number of troops as us. How could they not come and hunt us down?" A soldier captain totally disagreed.
"I'll take the bet, Mr. Village Chief."
"I'll bet too. I have a chance to win against the village chief. This may be the only chance in my life. I can't miss it."
A group of soldiers and captains were laughing and not taking it seriously.
"Okay, I'll bet too, but I bet that the village chief will win." Wu Yuan suddenly said seriously, and was immediately booed. This guy is very bad.
Zhang Yang also laughed and asked, "What's the reason?"
Wu Yuan said, "It should be related to the rush of soldiers you just mentioned, that is, the orcs do not recruit soldiers without limit. If we had not killed sixty of their soldiers in one go, they would have chased us. But now, maybe they can outflank us and kill us, but the price will be terrible. At least one hundred orc soldiers will die."
"So instead of doing that, they would rather choose to retreat temporarily and slowly figure out our details, and then there is a long way to go. It is better than losing hundreds of soldiers for a moment of pleasure. After all, population is the most important thing."
"This is just as you said. The reason why the deer demons in the past and the gnolls today failed is because of this."
Zhang Yang did not comment on Wu Yuan's answer, but continued to observe the battlefield on the opposite side. In fact, he hoped that the orc hero would give the order to attack, so that he could retreat calmly. If you have the guts, chase me. At worst, I will retreat to the fortress and have another offensive and defensive battle.
If he doesn’t leave behind two hundred orcs’ heads, his name will be written upside down.
However, looking at the orc commander's previous steady command, Zhang Yang felt that it was probably impossible. The other side obviously would not give him this opportunity, so this was definitely a strong enemy! Half an hour later, the smoke in the wolf castle went out, the battle was over, and the wolf village was completely destroyed, with no one left alive.
The orcs suffered little losses, with only a few dozen killed.
However, just as Zhang Yang guessed, the orcs did not try to outflank and kill Zhang Yang and his group. Instead, they assembled their troops, looted all the supplies in the werewolf village, and even solemnly took away several Imprisoned Spears left on the battlefield. There was also a suspected orc mage who carefully studied the traces left by the out-of-control fireball, and finally left steadily without leaving any flaws.
Seeing this scene, the soldier captains around Zhang Yang were extremely confused.
But Zhang Yang's expression was extremely solemn.
"Go back. The orcs will not come to trouble us within 20 days to a month. But after a month, they will definitely bring a cracked version of the Spear of Imprisonment, at least ten orc mages, and a large number of archers to launch a real war against us, a war that will win without fighting."
"If we don't do something, the village will definitely be destroyed, because this is a fair and square battle. There won't be any luck, and any tricks will be in vain."
"After we get back, Wu Yuan, I will immediately take you to start the hero trial."
